Last night, Moody was the hero.

FINAL: Bears 25, Commanders 24.

Jake Moody's 38-yard field-goal is GOOD.

The Bears are going to bring this all the way down to 3 seconds. It will be a 37-yard field goal try for Bears kicker Jake Moody with the game on the line.

FUMBLE: Jayden Daniels fumbles the exchange. Nahshon Wright jumps on it. The Bears have life with 3:07 to go.

They trail by two points.

Offsides penalty against DJ Moore. Run for a loss of two. Drop from Olamide Zaccheaus.

Then on third-down from the 3, Williams hits Zaccheaus but he comes up short of the sticks.

Bears will punt with just over 6 minutes.

Washington punts back to Chicago. The Bears will take over at their own 9-yard line.

Caleb Williams and the Bears need at least a field goal.

Two-point try is no good.

Commanders 24, Bears 22. 10:26 to go.

TOUCHDOWN: D'Andre Swift sheds a tackler and runs for a 55-yard touchdown on a short pass from Caleb Williams. The Bears aren't going away yet.

Jake Moody's 48-yard field goal try is BLOCKED over the middle.

Sean Hammond @seanhammond.bsky.social · 11h

Third-and-1 snap comes in a little bit high and goes through Caleb Williams' hands. He grabs it but goes down for a sack.

Bears appear to be sending out the field goal unit for the first play of the fourth quarter.

Bears defense created two takeaways in the first half. They have the lead and they're moving into Commanders territory.

Here's the latest.

Commanders DE Dorance Armstrong is questionable to return with a hamstring injury. That's a big absence for the Commanders. Armstrong leads the team with five sacks on the season.

Bears LB Noah Sewell has been ruled out with a concussion.

Doink! Commanders field goal is off the left upright.

Bears take over with just over a minute in the half.

Sean Hammond @seanhammond.bsky.social · 12h

Noah Sewell was down on the field for a long time. He is up and walking now. Definitely some concern from his teammates, but good to see him up and moving.

Sean Hammond @seanhammond.bsky.social · 12h

Bears go for it on fourth-and-1 from the Washington 31-yard line. Caleb Williams is lucky he wasn't picked off by Frankie Luvu.

It's a turnover on downs. Washington takes over with 5:30 to go in the half.

Sean Hammond @seanhammond.bsky.social · 12h

In fact, I believe that was his first snap on offense.

We have a Roschon Johnson sighting. His first carry of the season.
